Low-Mass Companions for Five Solar-Type Stars From the Magellan Planet Search Program
Abstract
We report low-mass companions orbiting five solar-type stars that have emerged from the Magellan precision Doppler velocity survey, with minimum (Msin i) masses ranging from 1.2 to 25 MJUP. These nearby target stars range from mildly metal-poor to metal-rich, and appear to have low chromospheric activity. The companions to the brightest two of these stars have previously been reported from the CORALIE survey. Four of these companions (HD 48265-b, HD 143361-b, HD 28185-b, and HD 111232-b) are low-mass Jupiter-like planets in eccentric intermediate- and long-period orbits. On the other hand, the companion to HD 43848 appears to be a long-period brown dwarf in a very eccentric orbit.
Based on observations obtained with the Magellan Telescopes, operated by the Carnegie Institution, Harvard University, University of Michigan, University of Arizona, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.- Publication:
